Dr Greenfield graduated in Integrated Engineering from Nottingham Trent University in 1995. Between 1996 and 2000 he took an MSc and PhD at the Corrosion and Protection Centre, UMIST. His PhD research was carried out as part of the Organic Coatings and Cathodic Protection Group within the Corrosion and Protection Centre. His research considered the role and importance of interfacial processes in the failure mechanisms of blistering and delamination on organically coated mild steel. Since joining the Centre for Corrosion Technology in 2000, Dr Greenfield has continued with his interest in organic coatings alongside involvement with a suite of scanning electrochemical techniques held in the centre.
Research interests
• corrosion protection by organic coatings
• corrosion induced failure of coatings
• development of scanning electrochemical techniques including Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique (SVET), Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP), and Scanning Droplet Cell (SDS), Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) and Localised Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (LEIS)
